Yes, just as I did yesterday with a study the patient
brought along from Austria. The simple solution is to
extract a few images and store them in the GNUmed database.
The better solution (if available) is to use a DICOM tool
and copy the study to the local DICOM store and the access
it via Aeskulap or some such viewer as Sebastian suggested.

When we interface more closely with Osirix this permalink
URL behaviour will just fall into place.
